And guess what? Summer is no different. It has what I think is the ultimate combination of hot dogs, hamburgers, and PASTA SALAD! Pasta salads bring everything together and are pretty much a requirement at any cookout, BBQ, potluck, pool party, or backyard get-together.

How To Make And Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

  • Fill a saucepan halfway with water and place eggs in a single layer. Make sure the eggs are covered with water, about half an inch.
  • Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a rolling boil, leaving the pot uncovered.
  • Turn off the heat, place the lid on the pot, and set a timer for 11–13 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs.
  • Strain the water from the pot and run cold water over the eggs to stop the cooking.
  • To peel, gently tap the large end of the egg on the counter and remove the shell.

Variations To This Easy Pasta Salad Recipe

This recipe is super easy to customize to your liking with your favorite ingredients and flavor combinations to suit your own tastes.

  • Seasonings – cayenne pepper, garlic powder, hot sauce, celery seeds, and dry mustard are all great flavor boosters.
  • Veggies – grape tomatoes, cucumber, and olives, add great texture.
  • Flavor boosters – dill pickles, sweet pickle relish, or a splash of pickle juice will give the salad an extra savory kick.

Tips For Making Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad

  • Use eggs that are at least a week old for easier peeling. Fresh eggs tend to stick to the shells, making peeling a bit more challenging.
  • Salt the pasta water! It’s the first opportunity you have to season the dish.
  • You can lighten up the dressing by subbing Greek yogurt for the mayo.

Steps To Making Pasta Salad With Deviled Eggs

There are only a few simple steps to make this yummy side dish:

  1. Boil the eggs and let them cool. Cook the pasta, drain, and rinse.
  2. Chop the red onion, celery, bacon, and green onion. Separate the egg whites and yolks. Chop the whites and mash the yolks with a fork.
  3. Make the dressing.
  4. Place all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and spoon over the dressing. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently stir everything together.
  5. Top with extra green onions and a sprinkle of paprika. That’s it; you are ready to serve!
